Is there any way to add Bluetooth to this laptop internally? Does anyone know of anyway to add Bluetooth to this machine internally?

If you have an express slot which you dont use, like most folks, get a USB 3.0 plug in adapter from Tiger Direct, it'll give you 2 additional high speed usb ports which are backward compatible to USB 2 & 1. It easier & cleaner than a portable hub which needs to be powered up.

Via bluetooth. Not every laptop has bluetooth though so you will need to check your device manager for the hardware. If you have windows 7 try typing in the windows program search line from the start menu.

This HP PC does not have built in Bluetooth connectivity. You may be able to purchase a Bluetooth adapter

I have been unable to get it working on an HP Z420 workstation with Windows 8 (not 8.1). Windows installs a driver automatically but the device stops before the Bluetooth stack looks like it ever gets loaded. Perhaps a driver would fix it, but I have yet to find one that works.

I went under the area where you connect wifi at the bottom of the screen and selected connect Bluetooth device. Follow set up from there. Hope that's helpful.

Yes, it comes with bluetooth installed in this computer, but i want to let you know that my previous purchase from HP I5 15.6 inch doesnot came with Bluetooth installed which caused me bored from this Laptop till i sold it, but in my new one the bluetooth is perfect.

No. The computer is 7 years old and does not have bluetooth. It does have the capability to connect to wifi, but not much else.

Thanks for the replies. If I'm not able to get more info on internally adding a Bluetooth card, I might go the USB route. I already placed mine on order btw. My only concern with this solution is that it takes up a whole USB slot.

Does anyone know if it's possible to install an internal bluetooth adapter yourself on the u43jc-x1?

Firstly, it has Wi-fi. Secondly, it is theoretically capable of having Bluetooth, but the model I have does not include it. It's a great laptop, though, and you can get a Bluetooth adapter for $10.

Thank you. That is a good question. I actually do not know, as I never use Bluetooth. Best to "Google" the computer model number and check the specifications.

I double checked the specs, it does NOT come with bluetooth, there are no bluetooth antennas in it. http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/U940/U945-S4130/

I report to you that the LENOVO laptop 17.3 inch that buy does not have bluetooth.

Hi kiki, unfortunately, the easiest way to add bluetooth to your inspiron is another USB adapter. This time, it would be a Bluetooth-USB adapter, able to work not only with your mouse, but with any other BT peripheral (printers, cell phones, PDA's, etcetera). Another way is to have someone open up your laptop, and solder any bluetooth receiver (like the ones you plug into the USB port) onto the insides of one of the USB ports, this however, may render the USB port useless for any other purpose (not that bad if it's already broken).

No it doesn't have bluetooth. Much more, I wish I had not purchased this particular laptop.

My Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 68852BU is setup with Bluetooth. I have only used it to listen to music from cell phone.

Check to make sure your Bluetooth is turned on. I is much like the Wi-Fi on a laptop. Also you may need to update your computer's drivers.
